The sixth season of the French version of Strictly Come Dancing premiered on TF1 on 24 October 2015, a little over a year after the fifth season. This time, 10 celebrities are paired with 10 professional ballroom dancers, less than the 11 of the previous season. Vincent Cerutti will not return as the main host for the season, being replaced by Sandrine Quétier, while Quétier's previous spot will be taken over by Season 4 contestant Laurent Ournac. Meanwhile, Fauve Hautot, one of the program's most popular dancers, was promoted to the position of judge, due to Season 5 judge M. Pokora being too busy with his concert tour.
Participants The names of eight allegedly participating celebrities were leaked by the media in the third week of June 2015, with several more names leaking over the following weeks, with many being correct but others, like TV personalities Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff, actor Issa Doumbia, singer Larusso, model and actress Victoria Silvstedt or YouTube personality Norman Thavaud, ending up being false.
Former footballer Djibril Cissé was the first celebrity confirmed by broadcast channel TF1, on 9 July, seven days after his name leaked, followed by singer/actor Vincent Niclo on 21 July, TV actress Fabienne Carat on 28 August, YouTube personality Marie 'EnjoyPhoenix' Lopez on 2 September, Singer/impressionist Véronic DiCaire on 8 September, Singer Loïc Nottet on 11 September, Actor Thierry Samittier on 14 September, singer/actress Priscilla Betti on 21 September, Model/singer Olivier Dion on 23 September and finally Miss France 2007 first runner-up Sophie Vouzelaud on 29 September.
TV presenter Karine Ferri had initially signed on for the season, but had to back out due to pregnancy so her spot was taken over by Priscilla Betti.
